    Radiator fan protection?

    I don't have a good picture handy, but they're a fairly standard set that is very sturdy. Alt-rider I think? The bike has been down plenty of times on its side on flat surfaces and the bars worked fine and didn't flex or move, so it's not the crash bars pushing into the radiator.

    Concern about weight of Givi Outback Trekker top box

    Slight further mod - the right hand side support blocked access to the givi toolbox mounted inside the pannier frame, so I changed that side to run off the pannier mount. The angle is much tighter, but it still seems to make the rack sufficiently rigid. It is a bit cleaner looking, and...

    Radiator fan protection?

    On a recent ride I dropped the bike on the left side onto uneven ground, and through the crash bars, the plastics pushed the radiator fan into the radiator, causing a puncture. The pressure applied seems to have been very minimal - it was on uneven, hard rocky ground (baked clay with rocks...

    Concern about weight of Givi Outback Trekker top box

    I finally got around to fixing this - I used some 20x20x1.5mm aluminium angle to create braces from the back of the rack to the pannier frames. For where it attaches i just cut away the angle to make a tab, and bent that to fit. The rack is now rock solid, where before there was significant flex...

    Oil leak around final gear drive?

    Thanks, that was an incredibly useful video. I'm not seeing any leaks around the axle though, so I don't think it's the output side seal on the pumpkin. I'm leaning more towards what @holligl said about the seals on the drive shaft: @Cycledude - I don't think I overfilled it, but can't rule...

    Oil leak around final gear drive?

    I've noticed that I've got a bit of an oil leak around the final drive. It's not too bad - no oil dripping on the floor under it, but it is seeping out. I've noticed there's a hole on the underside which seems to be the source of a lot of it - anyone have any clues as to what is causing this...

    Concern about weight of Givi Outback Trekker top box

    do you have a picture of the high mount position? The rack was on the that came with the bike when i bought it, so i didn't realise there was another configuration.

    Concern about weight of Givi Outback Trekker top box

    For those who have a Givi Outback Trekker top box - are you concerned about the weight hanging over the back? I recently got one of these and mounted it on my AltRider rack. When i ride around it does rattle about a bit. The entire case also hangs behind the mounting points, which means the...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    I installed a Givi Outback Trekker 42L top box today. Picked it up cheap second hand - it's actually an OEM triumph case from a Tiger 800. The mounting plate didn't fit, but I was able to take the mounting pins and catch off that plate and install them onto my AltRider rack, which saved me a few...

    Upper fairing push pin removal

    Can anyone point me to an online source to buy the correct size/type replacement push pins? I've been looking on eBay and while there are some similar sizes, I haven't been able to find any that look the same.

    How far do you go with the fuel gauge flashing?

    Filling in some details now that I’ve had the bike for a while: - If I fill up as soon as the fuel light starts flashing, it will take 16 litres to fill the tank - if I run it till empty (stalling, bike needs to be leant over to slosh fuel to the pickup to keep it running) it takes 21 litres to...

    Did you replace the piston and rings yourself? If so, how big a job was it?

    Correct reed type for re-keying Givi security locks?

    I've got givi toolbox that i would like to re-key so I can use the same key for my Givi outback trekker pannier boxes. It's the "security lock" type - I know I can buy new barrel sets, but for a 3 lock set i'm looking at a lot of money, so I want to see if I can re-key the toolbox to match my...

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    I did my first overnight trip on the S10. about 700kms in total, with maybe about 1/3 being gravel roads. It ended up being a lot wetter than I'd expected, so it was a bit cold and wet for a lot of it, and a lot of muddy, slippery tracks. But the S10 and Metzeler Karoo 3's handled it well!

    Tools…What do you carry with the Super T

    I keep a pretty similar set of tools on my bike. Probably the only thing to add is: - a tube of metal epoxy putty - loctite - crimp connectors and wire for electrical repairs I store mine under the seat and in a givi toolbox attached to pannier frames.

    Do you carry tire levers? if so, where?

    I’ve decided on carrying a plug kit and compressor as primary puncture repair (under seat and in toolbox) but I also have tyre levers hose clamped to the frame, and a puncture repair kit with valve tool and spare stems. If I’m going somewhere remote I will also pack spare tubes, just in case...
